The newest member of our backyard menagerie, a red-tailed hawk:<\/div>\n

Unrelated to the red-tailed moth (I made up that name, but seems to fit):<\/div>\n

Some of the other residents tried to ask the hawk what his intentions where:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
But he simply started at them:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
So now most of the birds seem a little more vigilant:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Some of them have adopted a \u2018lets loose our feathers to look as un-appealing as possible\u2019 tactic:<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, the ant battles continue. This cicada put up a brave fight:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
but the ant army was endless!<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
This snail was smart enough to stay out of harms way:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
But this one was not:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Some insects seem just too scary for ants to mess with, like this one:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
I betcha you can guess what I\u2019ve been up to:<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/canvas><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
We don\u2019t let any \u2018stinking\u2019 95 degree weather stop us from having fun \u2026 doggy especially likes it when I turn into a salt lick:<\/div>\n

A before and after shot of one of the latest trail projects:<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve been learning how to use a free video editing software called Resolve, so I made a couple of short time laps movies of the trail making process:<\/div>\n
